This personal and reflective narrative captures the essence of travel before the digital age, making it a must-read for fans of her science fiction work—and anyone intrigued by the adventures of a writer abroad!“In this wise, witty, and very personal excursion into another culture, Pamela Sargent observes that ‘I have found over the years that most people, for some reason, like to hear about the process of writing. ’ If you happen to be one of those perspicacious readers, you will love this journal about the more public aspects of the writing profession.

Sargent’s Spanish journal is truly A Moveable Feast. ” —Jack Dann.
